River low and clear but had nice wbt.

The day was really hot so I choose to fish in fast flowing water and caught lots of trout and grayling on nymphs. There were couple of rises in the evening but nothing came on the end of the line. I caught a big fish under the bridge (couldn't see the fish) but lost it as it broke my 5 lb tippet. I think a felt/studded boot and a wading staff is essential as the river has predominantly bed rocks.

Beautiful beat. Fished from 1.30 to 7pm. Plenty of insect life. The river is quite low after a prolonged dry period. Caught 4 trout from 6" to 10" on duo method, all on the nympth. Any attacks on the dry were all missed by yours truly! Hopefully next time...First time I have used the passport, an excellent service.

Excellent day, tricky in warm sunny conditions, bright sunlight but still managed there Arrow beauties on the dries!!!!! Just a few more piccies of a very picturesque beat . . . . . Hopefully not upside down again , as all the photos I submit seem to be appearing that way . . . . . . . . .

Very hot and bright made for tricky fishing. Two nice fish of around a pound obliged from below the bridge which is mostly wadeable given the low water and many more were lost/risen mainly on olives and emergers. I could not stay into the evening which was a real pity.

This beat looked very promising. I parked (as instructed) by the bridge at the bottom of the beat (just over the bridge there is room for a couple of cars on the right). However I very soon discovered that my poor old knees could not cope with the rough tussock grass heads that needed to be navigated to get past the first stand of trees. I got about 400 yards before turning back - it was a hot day and I was covered in sweat! This fishing if for a younger, fitter, more agile angler than me! I abandoned the attempt and went off to other fishing I have, through my membership of Bala Anglers, where access is straightforward.

Very hot, with a strong breeze. Despite a cloudless day, there was no shortage of fish rising. This was a day for throwing away the text books, as fish were rising in very shallow water, in blazing sunshine, and were very interested in flies skating across the water at the end of the cast, sometimes making a grab at it! All this action plainly visible and also on occasion where a group of 'dimple' rises were encountered, these turned out to be good fish, but highly selective. We caught seven trout for the day, with one of 2.25lbs, four of 2lbs, and two smaller. All fish safely returned. Vey enjoyable day. Mostly caught on small dries.
